Akeem wants to have a lemonade stand at the community fair. It cost him $2 to make a cup and $40 for the renter's fee for the stand. He sells the lemonade for $6 per cup. How many cups do akeem have to sell to break even.

Answer 1

To break even, Akeem needs to earn back the total cost of making the cups and paying for the stand.

The cost of making one cup is $2.
The renter's fee for the stand is $40.
So the total cost Akeem needs to cover is $2 + $40 = $<<2+40=42>>42.

To determine how many cups Akeem needs to sell to break even, we divide the total cost by the selling price per cup:
$42/$6 = <<42/6=7>>7.

Therefore, Akeem needs to sell 7 cups to break even.
